"I believe that the elections in Russia were unfair, unjust and riddled with irregularities. This should be investigated. We as a grouping call for free, fair and independent elections in Russia – with all political parties represented. This is what the people of Russia want. We will work closely with the EU-Russia Parliamentary Cooperation Committee to consistently raise the issue of democracy, fundamental rights and the rule of law with the Russian counterparts. We also note President Medvedev’s announcement of comprehensive changes to the political system. We await these changes with anticipation. We in the ECR totally and unreservedly condemn the crackdown by police on peaceful demonstrations held in protest at election irregularities. Fraud has been widely reported by independent election monitors and observers in the country in both last year’s parliamentary and the recent presidential election. The Russian authorities need to engage in dialogue with the opposition. We in the ECR regret that the Putin-led administration decided to deny registration for the presidential election campaign of Grigory Yavlinsky, opposition leader of the Liberals. This stance also prevented Mr Yavlinsky’s party from sending observers to polling stations to monitor events."@en1
